Jake Paul Fight Time: Ring Walks and Main Event Details
The Jake Paul vs Chávez Jr. bout will headline a loaded card tonight, Saturday, June 28, 2025. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET on DAZN pay-per-view, with main event ring walks expected around 11 p.m. ET. / 8:00 p.m. PT. For viewers in the United Kingdom, this translates to approximately 4:30 a.m. UK time on Sunday, June 29, as mentioned in a report by Uncrowned.
The showdown will be available on a pay-per-view basis via DAZN, with U.S. users required to pay $59.99, a price that includes access to DAZN content for seven days.
This event comes on the heels of Jake Paul’s record-breaking bout last year against Mike Tyson, which drew over 108 million viewers on Netflix, making it the most-streamed sporting event to date.
Julio César Chávez Jr: The Comeback Challenge
Chávez Jr., son of Mexican boxing icon Julio César Chávez, brings a professional record of 54 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw. The 39-year-old last competed in July 2024, securing a decision win over former UFC star Uriah Hall. While once crowned WBC middleweight world champion (2011–2012), Chávez Jr now faces the challenge of re-establishing his credentials at cruiserweight, a class in which Paul has found recent success.
Despite Jake Paul being the bookmakers’ favourite, Chávez Jr’s pedigree and experience cannot be discounted — even if he’s been inactive over the past few years.

Streaming Access and Broadcast Notes
DAZN retains exclusive broadcast rights for the main card. With fight fans from across the U.S., UK, and beyond tuning in, the event is set to be one of the most watched of 2025.
High Stakes for Paul’s Boxing Career
With a professional record of 11-1, Jake Paul enters the fight with growing confidence and ambition. Having last defeated Tyson via unanimous decision, the 27-year-old continues to claim he’s on a path to boxing world championship glory. A victory over Chávez Jr., a bona fide former champion, would strengthen that claim — and quiet some of his critics.
However, failure to impress against a fighter who has competed only once in four years could derail Paul’s aspirations and raise further questions about his competitiveness at the elite level.
